Improving reading among WA Indigenous children

The Rotary Club of Scarborough donated $5,000 in March 2017 to support 25 Indigenous children and young people across WA to participate in a program aiming to improve their reading ability. The funds were donated to Indigenous Reading Project, an Australian charity who will provide the children with iPads and access to a support program. The charity has demonstrated measurable improvements in the reading ability of former participants in Australia, and helps to boost confidence and self esteem.
